Fibre optic cable CFLG88

Test number:

4794

Bend radius:

55mm (factor 7.8xd)

Service life:

17 million strokes

This test analysed the expected service life of the CFLG88.2.50/125 in an e-chain with a 35mm radius.

A test result of over 17 million strokes confirmed that the cable ensures good long-term data transmission in small installation spaces.

Use of the CFLG88 in practice

The CFLG88.2.50/125 graded-index fibre cable has been specially developed for flexible use and is ideal for demanding indoor environments. It perfect for dry, dust-intensive areas, such as stone-processing machines. High-quality multimode fibres guarantee secure and reliable data transmission, even under adverse conditions.

For even more versatility, we also offer the CFLG88 with fibre diameters of 62.5/125 in our online shop.

Fibre optic cable CFROBOT5

Test number:

3105

Test parameters

+/-180°/m

Service life:

27 million cycles

This test analysed the expected service life of the CFROBOT5.501 in a torsion application in the triflex R at a rotation angle of +/-180°/m.
A test result of over 27 million cycles confirmed that the cable fulfilled the high demands of a measurement application.

Using the CFROBOT5 in practice

The fibre optic cable from the CFROBOT5 robot cable family is always immediately associated with a six-axis articulated robot because it involves torsion. However, that doesn't always have to be the case as customers very often need to guide sensitive signals. These signals come from actuators that are guided in free, undefined movements, where torsion also plays a role. Extremely precise measurements produce an incredible amount of data, which can be transported most reliably without interference via a fibre optic cable. The challenge is to cushion the sensitive fibre optic element in the cable so that it cannot be damaged - not even in the long term.

Fibre-optic cable CFLG.2LB

Test number:

4011

Bend radius:

35mm (factor 4.2xd)

Service life:

50 million strokes

This test analysed the expected service life of the CFLG.2LB.62.5/125 in an e-chain with a 35mm radius.

A test result of over 50 million strokes confirmed that the cable ensures good long-term data transmission in small installation spaces.

Use of the CFLG in real life

Mechanical engineers and manufacturers of doors and animation devices for trade shows were looking for an extremely compact, easy-to-install chain system including guidance. We responded with our microflizz, which uses an FOC so that data can be transmitted in very small installation spaces. Our CFLG.LB is a cable family that can reliably transfer data in small bend radii and on long travels. Its abrasion-resistant outer jacket made of TPE allows it to do this very reliably for a long time
